Is there a way to email a file in Access 2000/2002 ? The "SendObject" will only attach an object within Access (eg. report), but not an external file. I have a situation where a report was saved as a ".SNP" file by using the "OutputTo". However, at a later time I would like to email that file. I cannot recreate & email it using the "SendObject" since the data may have changed in the meantime. |

SendObject does not support that in any version of Access. You would have to automate an external messaging library like Outlook or CDO.

Hi Jed,
Look on page 19 of a document that I call Access Links.doc, for the topic "Late Bound code for Outlook to send several file attachments." You are welcome to download a zipped copy from here:
